+14dBm to +20dBm LO Buffers/Splitters
with ±1dB Variation
General Description
The MAX9987 and MAX9988 LO buffers/splitters each
integrate a passive two-way power splitter with high-
isolation input and output buffer amplifiers. These
buffers are designed to provide the high output
(+14dBm to +20dBm) necessary to drive the LO inputs
of high-linearity passive mixers, while offering 40dB
reverse isolation to prevent LO pulling. The MAX9987 is
internally matched for the cellular/GSM bands, and the
MAX9988 is matched for the DCS/PCS/UMTS bands.
The typical application circuit provides a nominal
+17dBm output power with ±1dB variation over supply,
temperature, and input power. With two optional resis-
tors, the output power can be precision set from
+14dBm to +20dBm. The devices offer more than 30dB
output-to-output port isolation, and are offered in 5mm
✕
5mm 20-pin thin QFN packages with exposed paddle.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
